Island Bush Camp is owned and operated by Ron & Anke Cowan, along with sister property Kafunta River Lodge both located in the Luangwa Valley, Zambia.
Island Bush Camp is 2 1/2 hours drive south of Kafunta River Lodge (so about 3 1/2 hours from Mfuwe airport) in a very remote yet extremely game-rich area of the southern section of the South Luangwa National Park. It is in this complete solitude, far away from other crowds, that walking safaris are taking place in the mornings and afternoons.
This seasonal, intimate camp lies under a grove of Mahogany trees, right on the banks of the Luangwa River. Island Bush Camp offers authentic bush accommodation in five elevated reed huts, with bucket showers and running water. The huts are open sided with a private verandah overlooking the Luangwa River.
Island Bush Camp focuses on bush walks, although it does offer some driving in the area and is close Three Rivers Camp, its sister camp.
The camp runs on solar and paraffin lights, charging facilities are offered via inverters.
